Gemma is in a charitable mood this week as she offers a behind-the-scenes peek at her sequinned appearance at Sophie Ellis Bextor’s 24-hour Kitchen Disco for BBC Children in Need. Plus, Christmas has also come early for one listener who is recovering from beating cancer – thanks to Gemma’s surprise act of kindness. The charity continues, as animal lover Gemma chats to BBC wildlife presenter Megan McCubbin – and invites her guest and her stepdad Chris Packham to stay at The GC Palace, now that things are quieter after Jedward left to go to LA. Gemma asks Megan for tips on making her dream of setting up an animal sanctuary come true – and we hear how our beloved diva thought she was going to die, after being bitten by an eight-legged creature this week. In Ask Me Anything, listener Jared gets a GC birthday treat for his best friend. Would you like to ask Gemma a question?
